Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues.
2. Wheel Removal
  • Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands.
  • Remove the wheel lug nuts with a socket wrench and take off the wheel.
3. Brake Pad Inspection/Replacement
  • Inspect Brake Pads:
    • Examine the thickness of the brake pads. If less than 3mm, replacement is necessary.
  • Replace Brake Pads (if needed):
    • Remove caliper bolts with a socket wrench.
    • Carefully slide the caliper off the brake rotor.
    • Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
    • Insert new brake pads into the caliper bracket, ensuring they are properly seated.
    • Reinstall the caliper over the new pads and torque caliper bolts to manufacturer specifications (generally around 20-25 ft-lbs).
4. Brake Rotor Inspection/Replacement
  • Inspect Brake Rotors:
    • Check for warping or scoring. If damaged, replace the rotor.
  • Replace Brake Rotors (if needed):
    • Remove the retaining screws (if applicable) and slide off the old rotor.
    • Clean the hub surface to ensure proper contact.
    • Install the new rotor, securing it with retaining screws and torquing to specifications.
5. Reassemble and Test
  • Reinstall the wheel and torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications (typically around 80-100 ft-lbs).
  • Lower the vehicle and reconnect the battery.
  • Pump the brakes several times to ensure proper brake pad seating and restore brake pressure.
